THEATRE CROWDED OUT
COMMUNITY SING FINALE There were guards at tlie top of the stairs before 12.30 p.m., to-day to turn people away from the community sing. •Swarms stormed up the steps of the Strand Theatre, but it was only the heroes who got through the cordon. It was a great finale to the “community singing” season. The theatre was packed; not only was every seat taken but there was no room to stand. Mr. George Baiidon, the Mayor of Auckland, smiled down, from the stage on the massed humanity and the Rev. Jasper Calder exorted it by example and action to sing with its mouths wide open. The resulting volume of sound was enough to gladden the hearts of the promoters and the charity boxes of the many collectors became heavy in their hands, Madame Anita Hardwick was the soloist and Mesdames Osborne and Snow played the piano.
